“It is no nation that we inhabit, but a language. Make no mistake; our native toungue is our true fatherland.”
― Emil Cioran

“Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a strong sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief in his own pretensions. The sardonic is all that permits him to move within himself. Without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“The literal meaning of life is whatever you're doing that prevents you from killing yourself.”
― Albert Camus

“I change too quickly: my today refutes my yesterday. When I ascend I often jump over steps, and no step forgives me that.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
